ok cool, that was one of my main concerns with the top on the Vert.. So the only other lil problem it had was the material rolled up like 1/2 inch above the rear window..
with the factory service manual, and some time to spare, this can be accomplished w/o taking it to a shop.

Nice.. So are there any other thing I should look out for..?

Shane.Trammell 03-23-2003 04:48 PM
lots of other things

The usual b.s., engine, trans, transaxle, oh yeah check the condition/service of ragtop motors ( these are $750ea.)

How do you know if they are good? As long as it retracts properly or do I need to listen for a specific noise?

Shane.Trammell 03-23-2003 05:21 PM
i guess one of us could time putting it down and that would tell you something. i didnt know there were so many verts in here

i was actually going to start a thread about asking if there is a manual override if top motor fails, I cant seem to find one

Shane.Trammell 03-23-2003 05:25 PM
in that case you just do it by hand

There isnt really a test to do, but yes excessive noise would be bad. Also the roll/sag in the top could be a simple adjustment of the motors. The panels are not hard to remove, 5 screws and 3 clips/body pins per side, if im not mistaken.

Ther is an access hole in the side of each panel to move the top up/down in the event of a switch/motor failure.
